Medicare. What is it? Is it not government health insurance for senior citizens? Because last time I checked, that’s what it is. That’s kind of it’s definition. Government health insurance for senior citizens.

When someone offers a plan to eliminate government health insurance for senior citizens, they are truly proposing to end Medicare.

See how that works? Pretty simple. Furthermore, pointing this out is not a lie. It is the truth.

The fact that their proposal would have taken years to fully eliminate government health insurance for seniors, allowing some folks to be (no pun intended) grandfathered in, is irrelevant. The fact that the government would distribute vouchers for senior citizens to subsidize the purchase of private health insurance is irrelevant. The end result is that government health insurance for senior citizens would be eliminated. Ergo, Medicare would be eliminated. Ended. Killed. Curtains, kaput, finito.
